Introduction
Traditional requirements for security are overly complicated and brittle. The large number of pieces that are required not only complicate the deployment but make getting the promised value of the solution challenging at best. CrowdStrike has developed a powerful platform that takes the hassle out of deployment. This means that not only can you be up and running in a day but you can also be enjoying the full value of the solution. This video highlights the strengths and benefits of the Falcon Platform.
